breast MRI vs. regular MRI questionFrom: Vivian (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 8 Aug 2000 14:23:07 -0500 (CDT)
I have had a lump superior to my left breast-found in May--and pain in my chest. I have had a mammogram& sonogram, which were negative. I then was refered to a general surgeon, who said it was not breast tissue, but swelling due the my scoliosis. At 37 years old it was the first I'd heard that I had scoliosis, but she seemed sure. I then went to see an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in scoliosis to see how I could manage the pain from this. After his examination he said I definitely do not have scoliosis. SOOOoooo, I called the surgeon back and told her nurse I am stil having the pain (4 weeks or so later) and she scheduled me for a "breast MRI". Same surgeon who declared this was not a breast lump. Okay, so I had the breast MRI. Her nurse just called and told me "the results of the MRI are normal, and Dr. "DOE" recommends you follow up with yearly exams with a primary care-giver". Okay, so I'm venting a little here. My question is--did this MRI just look at breast tissue, which she already told me was normal, or did it look at things on my chest wall, which are definitely NOT normal. I have knot the size of a pecan--not normal for me, anyway. Any advice for me on my next step? I'm ready to cry! I just want something to help the pain go away (and the lump too if possible) but I feel like I'm running to stand still! Thanks in advance,
-- Vivian
